Assertion and Reasoning
Assertion: (2 - √3) is one zero of the quadratic polynomial then other zero will be (2 + √3).
Reasoning: Irrational zeros (roots) always occur in pairs.
Explanation
Quadratic polynomial is given by ax² + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants. The quadratic formula is used to find the roots of the quadratic equation.
The roots of the quadratic equation can be real or complex. The roots can be rational or irrational. If a quadratic equation has irrational roots, then they always occur in pairs.
In the given assertion, (2 - √3) is one zero of the quadratic polynomial. Therefore, the other zero will be (2 + √3). This is because the sum of the roots of a quadratic equation is -b/a, and the product of the roots is c/a. In this case, the sum of the roots is (2 - √3) + (2 + √3) = 4, and the product of the roots is (2 - √3)(2 + √3) = 1. Therefore, the other zero must be (2 + √3).
The reasoning provided is correct because irrational roots always occur in pairs. This is because if a quadratic equation has an irrational root, then its conjugate must also be a root. The conjugate of an irrational number is obtained by changing the sign of the radical. In this case, the conjugate of (2 - √3) is (2 + √3).
Conclusion
Hence, both the assertion and reasoning are true, and the reasoning is the correct explanation for the assertion. Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
